Most Underrated TV Shows

[irondarts]

List them.

There was this Starz show called Boss with Kelsey Grammer that was real good. Gus Van Sant was heavily involved in it. Unfortunately it got canceled after 2 seasons.

Showtimes Shameless is really underrated. Season 4 was one of the best things I've seen on Television.

Showtimes Masters of Sex is very good.

Rectify on Sundance TV is a really great show as well.

Finally, Legit a comedy that aired on FXX for 2 Seasons starring Jim Jefferies was really funny stuff as well.

the first season of legit was really good, the second had some really terrible episodes mixed with a couple of good ones.

I'd add the hour, british TV show about the start of 60 minutes and journalists back in the day. Was really good until it got cancelled.

I'd also add peep show, easily the best comedy I've ever seen but still not many people outside britain seem to talk about it.

[enayes]

I enjoyed Shameless, watched seasons 1-4

[Knicks101]

Friday Night Lights

[irondarts]

Gotta add one more:

Men Of A Certain Age - Ray Romano's dramedy on TNT was one of my favorite things. It was so good but got canceled after 2 seasons.

Six Feet Under
John From Cincinnati
Party Down

[L.Kizzle]

The Wayne's Bros
:biggums:

The Wayne brothers staring Wayne Newton and Wayne Gretzky. Theme music by Lil Wayne.

Six Feet Under

That's a good one. that was a real weird slow burn of a season.

I ndon't hear many people talking about Comedy Central's "Review" which is outstanding.

The Life and Times of Tim

[FatComputerNerd]

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I know it has a sort of cult following, and is uber-popular among those, but I'm always shocked by how many people have never even heard of it.

[SexSymbol]

Constantine

[Sarcastic]

Flight of the Concords
The Americans

[ItsMillerTime]

It's fairly new so it's possible not a lot of people have been exposed to it yet, but Peaky Blinders is badass. On Netflix.

[FatComputerNerd]

Constantine

Constantine isn't half-bad.

Sleepy Hollow is decent too.

[Levity]

Frisky Dingo was a pretty short lived series on adult swim. big adam reed fan, so i was stoked on it. and one of the most underrated shows during its time....
King of the Hill


The Life and Times of Tim

you da man! steve dildarian (tim) was on an episode of kroll show this season. the dude always makes me laugh.

Yeah, Peaky Blinders is sort of like a 1920s British version of Sons of Anarchy except that it's just a higher quality show. The acting, direction, and cinematography are all very good.

[Patrick Chewing]

In The Heat of the Night


And does anyone remember the early 90's revival of Dark Shadows??

Shame about this. It was such a great show.

[irondarts]

I mentioned Rectify in the OP. Season 2 just got posted on Netflix and my goodness the show is so good. Everyone should watch it. Might be my favorite thing currently going. Created by actor Ray McKinnion (Deadwood, Mud, etc).

Titus Pullo is a mother****ing bad ass.

Broad City

I agree and hangin' with mr. cooper.

[L.Kizzle]

Used to watch Empty Ness and Too Close For Comfort.

[rufuspaul]

I've been watching Schitt's Creek on the Pop channel. Nothing ground breaking but some amusingly funny shit. Great cast too.

[He Strong]

Broad City

I've heard good things, but haven't seen it.

[hateraid]

All-time: The Wonder Years

Current: Gotham has been really un to watch. It's picking up now as the characters are developing.

I'm still a sucker for Storage Wars, although all the spin offs are atrocious. I tried to get into Jerod Loves Brandy. That flopped.

:applause:

It's Always Sunny gets a decent amount of recognition and has its hardcore fans, but I feel like it gets overlooked a lot. Being on FX probably doesn't help.

Came here to say Shameless. That should be the thread ender. Best written show on TV other than Mad Men

[highwhey]

The Knick

[kaktus14]

Dont know if its underrated but I really dig Silicon Valley

[Levity]

im loving this season. mike judges wit is really shining through on these first couple episodes.

[outbreak]

Rome. Aside from a shortened second season this show was great but rarely gets mentioned in top hbo shows.

i love shameless, but i wouldn't say that it's the best written show on tv. It definitely has some of the best characters on TV though that's for sure. hella underrated show compared to other comedy shows like community, parks and rec, orange ITNB, and arrested development. No one ever talks about shameless and it's never in the pop culture.

[outbreak]

oh and how can I forget peep show. Easily my favourite comedy of all time.

I like some of the shows on Esquire network that revolve around travel. Best Bars in America is cool and The Getaway had a couple nice episodes. I think at least one show is produced by Anthony Bourdain. Parts Unknown is also a really well done travel show. Bourdain is a good host with his combo of cynicism and genuine enjoyment of food and sensitivity to others cultures.

I love the writing. Like you said, they've developed a bunch of great characters, it feels very realistic most of the time and it has stayed consistent and strong as a show through 4 seasons

[LiLharvard]

i was just at a friends house and he was watching a show called "blackish"

Never heard of it... thought it was going to be shit .. but it was funny. check it out - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3487356/
